Global Blast Chillers Market: Innovative and Eco-friendly Devices to Escalate Demand in India and China

A new market research report by Transparency Market Research, titled “Blast Chillers Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016–2023,” presents a detailed overview of the global market for blast chillers. Analyzing the historical trends and latest developments, the report presents a forecast of the market for the duration from 2016 to 2023.


The concept of blast chillers is to almost instantly lower the temperature of cooked food in order to eliminate the possibilities of bacterial growth. The typical temperature for bacteria to evolve and multiply on cooked food is from 46 degree Fahrenheit to 154 degree Fahrenheit but blast chillers make it possible to quickly drop the temperature from about 158 degree Fahrenheit to 37 degree Fahrenheit. This process of chilling the food within 90 minutes since it was cooked makes it significantly immune from external factors such as temperature and humidity, aiding it in maintaining its nutritious value. Chilled food is safe for storage and consumption even after a considerable delay.

This TMR research report has been prepared for the purpose of updating stakeholders in the global blast chillers market about the prevailing dynamics herein. This report also monitors the strengths and weaknesses of some of the leading vendors currently operating in the market and the strategies they are adopting to gain an edge over competitors. Some of the prominent companies in the blast chillers market, such as Traulsen, Master Bilt, Williams, and Advanced Equipment have been profiled in the report.

According to the report, the biggest driver for the global blast chillers market is the rising demand for instant food, especially among the urban population. Blast chillers help preserve the fragrance and quality of the food from the moment it is packed to when it is consumed. The proliferation of blast chillers across restaurants, catering units, bakeries, and fish and meat processing industries is also fueling the market.

Moreover, latest advancements in blast chilling devices have provided a major boost to the market. Blast chillers are now eco-friendly, consume considerably less electricity, and have become easy to operate with touch screen controllers. The latest models of blast chilling devices come with automatic defrost functions and inbuilt safety sensors that turn off the fan motor in case of any disruption during chilling or freezing cycle.

GCC and Qatar Cooking Oil Market is Expected to Reach US$1.7 bn by 2024

By nature, the GCC and Qatar cooking oil market is highly consolidated, with the top three companies accounting for almost three quarters of the market in 2015. Savola Group, Emirates Refining Company Ltd., and United Foods Company dominate the scene through aggressive investments, strong distribution networks, and product innovations.

The cooking oil market in the GCC region is marked by intense competition, Transparency Market Research finds, and focusing on research and development activities to introduce new products has augured well for these players.


For instance, market leader Savola Group launched a new line of canola oil products in February 2015 and this product – with high Omega-3 properties – has furthered strengthened its hold on the GCC and Qatar cooking oil market.

In terms of revenue, the cooking oil market in the GCC and Qatar was valued at US$988.2 mn in 2015 and is expected to reach US$1.7 bn by 2024, expanding at a 6.6% CAGR therein. In terms of volume, the market is projected to register a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period.

Corn Oil to Witness Rapid Growth despite Low Market Share

On the basis of product, the cooking oil market in the GCC and Qatar is led by the sunflower oil segment, which recorded a significant share of more than 70% in 2015. On the other hand, despite accounting for a share of less than 7% in 2015, corn oil is expected to grow at the fastest rate through 2024. By type of packaging, retail package emerged as the key contributor in the cooking oil market in GCC.

Geographically, the market is divided into Qatar and other GCC countries. In terms of revenue, the cooking oil market in the rest of GCC accounted for a larger share in 2015 and is projected to amount to US$1.6 bn by the end of the forecast period. Registering a 6.5% CAGR from 2016 to 2024, the regional segment will retain its dominance in the GCC and Qatar cooking oil market. The Qatar cooking oil market, on the other hand, is projected to witness a greater rise in terms of volume than by value.

Demand for Processed Food Surges as Consumption Patterns Evolve

The increasing demand for processed food among consumers residing in the GCC region has complemented the growth of the cooking oil market in Qatar and other GCC countries, TMR finds. “Keeping this in mind, manufacturers operating in this market are engaged in extensive research and development activities to produce high-quality cooking oils that can address the health requirements of the consumers,” the lead analyst states. High purchasing power and the increasingly busy lifestyle of the consumers in the GCC region have altered consumption patterns and this is also pushing the demand for various cooking oils.

Lack of Local Production Hindering Growth

Most of the countries in the GCC region depend on imports for cooking oil owing to their weak local production. The economic and political instability in some countries and adverse climatic conditions in most have restrained the local production of cooking oil. “Imported products are priced on the higher side, due to which, consumers in the low-income group refrain from buying such products,” the author of the study. This acts as a major restraint on the cooking oil market in the GCC.

Omega 3 Ingredients in High Demand as Awareness of Health Benefits Increases, reports TMR

Koninklijke DSM N.V., BASF SE, and Croda International Plc. – the three leading companies for omega 3 ingredients in 2014 – held a collective share of 48.2% in terms of market value. Most of the key omega 3 ingredients manufacturers have been in the market for a long time and possess a history of business consolidation through various business strategies and mergers and acquisitions.


As stated in a research report released by Transparency Market Research, the competitive intensity in the global market for omega 3 ingredients is expected to remain very high till 2021. The market is extremely concentrated in developed economies and relatively sparser in emerging ones. Additionally, the key players hold a large part of the market share, leaving little scope for regional players or new entrants to prosper in the market. The overall threat from new entrants is also expected to remain very low over the coming years, owing to the high entry barriers and the overall lack of consumer awareness in untapped regions.

The global market for omega 3 ingredients is expected to generate a revenue of US$7.49 bn by 2021. It is projected at a CAGR of 15.2% from 2015 to 2021 and is predicted to reach US$3.70 bn before the end of 2016. Supplements and functional foods have consistently been the leading application segment in omega 3 ingredients. By the end of 2021, this segment is expected to accrue a total revenue of US$3.91 bn.

North America Pushes Demand for Omega 3 Fatty Acids

By the end of 2021, North America is expected to generate US$3.62 bn in revenue from the demand for omega 3 ingredients. It is the dominant region in the world for EPA/DHA consumption since quite a few years and is expected to remain at the top till 2021. A large portion of this region’s omega 3 ingredients demand comes from supplements and pharmaceuticals, but there is a strong growth rate in the demand for omega 3 ingredients in infant formula as well.

Comparatively, the demand for omega 3 ingredients in Europe is much lower due to a lower rate of awareness. The awareness level reduces even further in the case of Asia Pacific. However, both regions are showing immense potential due to a gradual improvement in the flow of nutritional information within urban areas.

Omega 3 Ingredients Demand Spurred by Growing Health Concerns

At the moment, the primary driver boosting the demand for omega 3 ingredients is the growing level of concern over physical health. People are becoming increasingly aware of the high rate of diseases such as cancer and asthma around the world and are looking for ways to mitigate the risks of contracting them. One of the proven ways to do so is the regular consumption of DHA/EPA. Both fatty acids are known to reduce the chances of a person falling prey to prostate or skin cancer, and are also known to abate bronchial inflammation and asthma,” states a TMR analyst.

The growing consumer awareness is attributed to the increasing marketing efforts put in by nutrition companies, along with the release of scientific research which proves the benefits of consuming omega 3 fatty acids.

EPA/DHA Consumption Still Marred by Low Awareness

There is still, however, a large percentage of population in the world that is not aware of the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids. They still cannot differentiate between fatty acids that are beneficial or harmful when consumed. The overall public opinion of all fatty acids therefore remains negative. This can be dismissed by increasing awareness efforts through drives and other activities.

Manufacturers of omega 3 ingredients can look to Asia Pacific for future endeavors. This region is ripe with a large number of consumers in urban areas that have positive disposable income. As the awareness of omega 3 fatty acid benefits spread, so will the demand for them in this region,” adds the analyst.

The information presented in this review is based on a Transparency Market Research report, titled, “Omega 3 Ingredients Market By Application (Supplements and Functional Foods, Pharmaceuticals, Infant formula, Pet and Animal Feed) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2015 - 2021.”

Key Takeaways:
  • Global demand for omega 3 ingredients expected to fetch US$7.49 bn in revenue by 2021.
  • Total revenue in supplements and functional foods by 2021 expected to reach US$3.91 bn.
  • North America expected to generate US$3.62 bn in omega 3 ingredients revenue by 2021.


Calcium Propionate Market:High Demand in F&B Sector Attributed to Shifting Consumption Patterns, reports TMR

Perstorp Holding AB, Niacet Corporation, and Kemira were three of the key manufacturers and distributors of calcium propionate in 2015. The top players in the global calcium propionate market held a share of nearly two-thirds in value in 2014 and includes the above three names.

As per a research report recently published by Transparency Market Research, the top players in the global calcium propionate market possess a very strong distribution chain across key regions of the world. Companies such as Perstorp Holding also keep a diverse product offering to remain independent of one product in terms of revenue generation. A lot of the players in this market are primarily focused towards providing calcium propionate to bakeries.

The global market for calcium propionate is expected to reach US$480.3 mn by the end of 2023. Its revenue is projected at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2015 to 2023 and is predicted to be valued at US$343.6 mn by the end of 2016. The function of calcium propionate as a preservative has found a massive scope of applications in bakeries. By the end of 2023, the application segment of bakery in the global calcium propionate market is expected to reach a revenue of US$270.3 mn.


Europe has been the steadiest in its demand for calcium propionate over the years. By the end of 2023, Europe is expected to generate a revenue of US$175.9 mn in its demand for calcium propionate. A large part of this revenue is attributed to the growing demand for ready-to-eat foods and preserved foods in France, the U.K., and Italy. The consumption of calcium propionate in Europe has also been boosted by the restrictions on other preservatives by REACH.

Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is expected to show a high demand for calcium propionate over the coming years. This region is showing a greater preference towards calcium propionate due to the ban on several antibiotics in various applications. North America is expected to show a sluggish growth in its demand for calcium propionate till 2023.

Demand for Convenience Foods, Consequently Calcium Propionate, on the Rise

A very common factor visible in all nations is an increasingly busy lifestyle of the working class. A large number of people are invested in this lifestyle and therefore need forms of sustenance that are primarily easy to eat. This massive demand for preserved foods, ready-to-eat foods, and canned foods is proportionately calling for a greater volume of preservatives. At the moment, calcium propionate is a solid option for most foods and especially bakery products,” states a TMR analyst.

Calcium propionate is great as an anti-microbial preservative and can be a solid answer to the rising concerns over food-borne illnesses and related health issues. Consumer are increasingly aware of the possibility of contracting several diseases through consumption of unsafe food, thereby creating a higher demand for preservatives and anti-microbial additives. The case falls in the favor of calcium propionate even further due to its relative cost-effectiveness in manufacturing.

Growing Demand for Fresh and Organic Foods Hampers Calcium Propionate Demand

There is currently a high demand for fresh foods that are devoid of preservatives and additives, owing to the health concerns linked to their consumption. Consumers are steadily shifting their preference towards fresh foods and consequently creating a fall in the demand for calcium propionate and other preservatives. This restraint is expected to have a medium level impact on the global calcium propionate till 2023.

The use of calcium propionate over sodium propionate can be a key factor that helps increase the demand for the former over the coming years. Additionally, globally prominent manufacturers of calcium propionate can now look to emerging economies from the Asia Pacific for massive volumes of demand and future opportunities,” adds the analyst.

The information presented in this review is based on a Transparency Market Research report, titled, “Calcium Propionate Market by Application (bakery, dairy, meat processing, animal feed and others) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023.”

Key Takeaways:

  • The applications of calcium propionate in the bakeries is expected to reach US$270.3 mn globally by 2023.
  • Europe is expected to continue leading the demand for calcium propionate, which is expected to reach US$140 mn by 2023 in revenue.
  • The global market for calcium propionate is expected to achieve an overall revenue US$480.00 mn.
